Wu and Tao Zhihong were shocked.
I became more alert to what my daughter said in her heart.
Last time, before the family split up, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had suggested to her that the other party's niece be her eldest daughter-in-law.
She made an excuse to refuse.
Now, the second branch of the family has lost its pillar, and only a few women are left to support it. In order to pursue a rich life, my younger brothers and sisters will definitely use everything they can to achieve their goals.
They had all seen Sun's niece before, and she gave people the impression of being a beautiful girl from a small family.
After my father was framed for illegally recruiting soldiers and embezzling military funds, and sentenced to death by five horses for treason, the entire General's Mansion fell into irreversible decline.
Two years after Dad passed away, my eldest brother was falling prey to that niece of the Sun family. Not only was she schemed against him time and time again, but she also colluded with outsiders, causing my eldest brother to be stabbed in the back on the battlefield. He was thrown from his horse and trampled into the mud by the Northern Barbarians' cavalry. It was a truly tragic scene.
The more Tao Yuwei thought about it, the more she felt a sense of crisis. After her elder brother Tao Zipeng returned to Beijing, she would definitely follow him everywhere to prevent the niece named Sun from taking advantage of the opportunity and sticking to her elder brother.
In fact, what she was most worried about was that under the strong interference of the plot, the situation would still develop along the original trajectory.
When Tao Zhihong heard this shocking news, his hand holding the chopsticks shook violently.
The chopsticks fell to the ground, and he was so uneasy that he couldn't eat his meal.
How could his eldest son, whom he had carefully nurtured, end up like this?
As long as he is around, anyone who dares to touch his family will pay the price.
For many years, in order to avoid being targeted by the nagging censors and being labeled as someone who was more capable than his master, he was cautious in everything he did and never showed up in the court.
In order to avoid the emperor's suspicion that he had a large army, he rarely participated in disputes in the court.
Those people still kept holding on to him.
What is the result?
There are traps and calculations everywhere.
Every time, it was his daughter who seemed ignorant and brought trouble to the family everywhere. She taught those people with bad intentions a lesson with a high-profile and arrogant attitude, stood in front of him and his wife, and protected their home.
From today on, Tao Zhihong will no longer keep a low profile and no longer care about what others think.
As the head of the family, he has to take charge. He will show no mercy to anyone who dares to take advantage of his family.
"Dad, you look very unhappy, what's wrong?"
Tao Yuwei saw her father sitting there with an angry look on his face, not even knowing to pick up his dropped chopsticks.
In order to prevent his daughter from noticing his abnormality, he quickly forced an awkward smile and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't hold the chopsticks firmly."
Mrs. Wu, who was sitting next to him, perked up and glanced at him sharply, signaling him to restrain himself and not let her daughter find out that they could hear her thoughts.
The maid serving beside him quickly replaced his chopsticks with a pair of clean ones.
Seeing that her father was eating normally, Tao Yuwei didn't think much about it and lowered her head to continue eating meat.
Wu, who was terrified, could barely maintain her composure. She wanted to immediately find out the sinister villains who wanted to harm her son, and she could not accept that her eldest son would be trampled into the mud and die.
The husband was framed and his daughter's words were verified.
They can't be careless.
We must be prepared and make arrangements in advance.
It is better to strike first than to strike first.
But why didn’t my daughter continue talking?
Apart from Sun's niece who plotted against the eldest son, who was the outsider who colluded with her?
It’s all my husband’s fault. He’s a great general, but he’s not steady at all and interrupted his daughter’s thoughts.
Under the table.
Mrs. Wu's expression remained unchanged, but she stretched out her foot and stepped hard on her husband's shoes, crushing them again and again.
In pain, Tao Zhihong quickly turned to his wife, who was on the verge of a rage, with a distorted face, squinting and glaring, signaling her to let him go.
"Dad, why is your face twitching?" Tao Yuwei finished a whole bowl of rice. Just as she raised her head, she saw her father with a funny look of excitement on his face, and his whole face was twisted asymmetrically.
Wu quickly retracted her foot, coughed, and said, "Wei'er, there's still dessert, don't you want to eat it?"
"Come up quickly, I can still eat more." Tao Yuwei's attention was quickly diverted as the maid brought over several plates of desserts.
Seeing his daughter continue to eat attentively, Tao Zhihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"My dear, you must be familiar with the daughters of various wealthy families in the capital. Please keep an eye out for your eldest brother. When he returns home, it's time to arrange a marriage for him."
Mrs. Wu began to test her daughter's attitude.
Tao Yuwei ate three red bean cakes in a row and finally stopped with satisfaction.
After wiping her hands, she was stunned for a moment when she heard her mother's words.
[My dear, I, Princess Anle, am not familiar with the noble ladies in the capital. You are asking the wrong person.]
[They are afraid of getting into trouble and are unwilling to be friends with this princess.]
It was mainly because those noble ladies all disliked the original owner Zhang Yang and were stupid, and they simply didn't want to associate with her.
She was the same, worried that she couldn't change her family's fate, so she kept a tight rein on her heart and didn't dare to relax. She focused all her thoughts on how to get things done and had no time to make friends.
After this incident of saving someone in the palace and almost losing her life, Tao Yuwei came to terms with it.
It would be better to let her parents handle things, or to cooperate with the villain, than to mess around on her own all day long.
After thinking it over, Tao Yuwei felt that she was not so stressed anymore.
"Mother, you have to take care of my eldest brother's marriage. I don't know much about the situation of noble ladies in the capital."
